We inherited insurgency from PDP – APC

The ruling All Progressives Congress has claimed that the insurgency facing its government was inherited from the Peoples Democratic Party-led administration.

The PDP, according to the APC, sowed the germ of insurgency “when it handled the Boko Haram insurgency in an amateurish and unprofessional manner.”

This was in response to Governor of Rivers State Nyesom Wike’s “false allegations” that the federal government had lost control of the security situation.

“Nigerians can recall that the insurgents once attacked places of worship, markets and gathering of citizens in many states of the Federation before the APC administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari galvanised and equipped the armed forces to degrade their capacity to strike all over the country.

“It is ironic that the dictator at the Rivers State government house has forgotten so soon that kidnapping for ransom, like the Boko Haram insurgency, did not start under this administration, but every effort is being made to stop it along with its twin evil of banditry.

“The APC administration has consistently worked for the best interest of Nigeria and will not be distracted by the antics of the PDP designed to mislead Nigerians into assuming that the PDP they rejected in free and fair elections in 2015 and 2019 is worthy of their trust.

“A leopard cannot change its spots. The PDP is clearly in disarray. It was a failure in governance and a shocking failure as an opposition party. Nigerians cannot risk the country’s future in the hands of the same political party that brought the rot the APC administration is clearing.”
